Why image size matters for your site

Images are usually the heaviest thing on a page, and slow pages lose visitors and rank worse. Compressing them — trading a little visible quality for a much smaller file — is one of the highest-impact speed fixes. For photos, JPEG at 60–80% quality is the sweet spot. Pair smaller images with a fast host and caching, and your pages load noticeably quicker.

Frequently asked questions

Does this upload my image anywhere?

No — compression happens entirely in your browser using a canvas. The image never leaves your device.

What quality should I use?

For photos, 60–80% usually cuts file size dramatically with little visible loss. Lower it further for thumbnails where detail matters less.

Why compress images at all?

Images are the biggest cause of slow pages. Smaller files load faster, improving user experience and SEO — especially when paired with a fast host like Hostinger.
